Category: Fix our Economy now

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce 500,000 masks coming to NY & Seattle Monday. That’s a start. We can’t wait a year for more, we need the Defense Production Act, allowing other businesses like the Automotive Industry, to repurpose to make medical equipment in quantity. They have the manpower and the factories. Set them up and we decrease our need for time spent idle.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce The Plan to save our economy keeps workers and Corporations afloat. The Government becomes the lender of last resort. Unlike the Economists, I believe a one time substantial check to those barely earning a living and seniors who are struggling is also a necessity. Means testing $75,000 and less.154 million Americans.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce The People need QE being laid off with no pay is devastating to families. Corporations should be affording 2 weeks min sick pay, lessen restrictions on unemployment benefits, provide Expanded Medicaid in every State& finally issue a large check to Americans. @ $2500 you could cover 164 million Americans costing $420 Billion. Stimulating the Economy at the same time!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce End the Gender Wage Gap and support these women. It’s disheartening to know women are no better off today , than we were 50 yrs ago. If you look at the AAUW chart of the United States, the States in light blue maintain a 30% gap in wages for women. Organize, Unionize and Sue for your Rights. #Women Empowerment will prevail!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Sign the petitioners clipboards, take time to advocate for yourself. You don’t have to remain at low wages with Congressional representatives who don’t represent you. Sign for $15 /hour and Unionize. Pick yourself up and register and vote too! The folks in Congress look good because you voted for them, if you’re good enough to think about your future, you’re good enough for government too!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce According to an Independent non partisan poll by the Financial Times only white males in America feel that they are better off financially. All women are the worst off and African Americans & Hispanics are also suffering economically. The Economy is selectively helping very few. The statistics show our Economy is 2.1 while under Obama it went to 2.3. The stock market is up 7%. These are the facts. If you’re not better off under Trump don’t vote for him again
